  • Presentation of the Instructor, Textile Artist Olivia Babel1:04

    Hello everyone, I am Olivia Babel, a French artist who creates hand-woven textile art pieces using techniques learnt during my apprenticeship at the Ecole des Beaux-arts.


    All of my artworks are made with fabric, wool, cotton thread.


    I exhibit internationnally in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ankara and London.


    Out of my desire to get closer to my audience and interact with people differently. I decided to create a training course in which I teach you how to weave, simply, with materials that everyone has at home.


    This course will allow you to realize your own textile work, which you can hang in your home or give as a gift.


    So here we go, I'm sure it will be great !

Requirements
